Introduced by:   Jean Holbert Leighton

 

 

Krystal gave a riveting classification speech about how she became interested in the career of Funeral  director from an early age. Her goal is to eventually own her own funeral parlour and give back to the community. She is also Vice President of The Catholic Women’s League 

 And Vice president of the funeral association. Married with to biys, aged 5 and 7- she is very busy but happy to give back to whoever needs her help. Tom was so taken with her speech that he commented on it and has asked her to  consider being  a spiritual advisor for next year’s Slapshot.

Thanked by:   Graham
